Golden, a longtime customer at The Book House, has also written a biography of industrialist Max M. Fisher and a history of the Cold War.

"Comeback Love" tells the story of “two lovers who came of age in the 1960s and is a sensual exploration of youth, regret, desire and the bonds that mysteriously endure in the face of momentous change,” according to the book jacket.

The novel will be published with a new cover and national publicity, Novotny said. The movie rights may also be sold.

“It’s really a perfect book for Robert Redford to make,” Novotny said. “It’s going places in Hollywood, for sure.”

The latest title published by Staff Picks Press is “Where’s the Watch?” a memoir by actor Len Lesser, whose long acting career is perhaps best known for portraying Uncle Leo on "Seinfeld."
